This colorful corn salad is an absolute favorite at my house whenever the weather warms up. It is packed with crunchy vegetables and sweet corn, making it a great side dish for any backyard barbecue.

Since there is no mayo in the dressing, it stays fresh and safe to eat even on a sunny picnic day. If you have the time, try to use fresh corn cut right off the cob for the best flavor and texture.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups corn kernels, fresh or thawed frozen
  • 1 large cucumber, finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare your corn kernels and place them into a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Add the finely chopped cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion to the bowl with the corn.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl or a glass jar, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, grated ginger, and honey.

  4. 4

    Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss everything together until well coated.

  5. 5

    Stir in the fresh cilantro and add salt and pepper to your liking.

  6. 6

    Let the salad sit for at least ten minutes before serving to let the flavors soak in.

💡 Tips

This salad keeps well in the refrigerator for up to three days. It is a great make ahead option for parties because the flavors improve after a little time. If you like a bit of heat, you can add a finely diced jalapeño to the mix.
